Understanding the distribution and status of all wild species in New Brunswick

Province-wideAtlantic Canada Conservation Data Centre

Since 1997, the Atlantic Canada Conservation Data Centre has worked with partners to assess the conservation status of 9,900+ New Brunswick species, and to record occurences of the 1,700+ species among these that are of conservation concern in a database. Through extensive field research, their biologists have documented tens of thousands of rare species records, including hundreds of new species for the Atlantic Provinces and many new species for Canada. Consultation of their data is a standard part of environmental impact assessment, species at risk status assessment and protected areas planning and they hope it will eventually become a standard part of forest management.

About

The New Brunswick Environmental Network (NBEN), established in 1991, is a communication network that links together over a 100 non-profit environmental organizations.

The role of the NBEN is to improve communication and co-operation among environmental groups and between these groups, government and other sectors. The NBEN provides educational opportunities for its member and associate groups and encourages the growth of the environmental movement in New Brunswick. The NBEN is not an advocacy group and does not take positions on any issue.
